Ian Book, Notre Dame Stay Undefeated with Crucial 36-3 Win over Syracuse

The No. 3 Notre Dame Fighting Irish remained undefeated and in position for a College Football Playoff berth with a 36-3 win over the No. 12 Syracuse Orange at Yankee Stadium in New York City on Saturday.

Notre Dame is now 11-0, and a road win over the USC Trojans next week will likely give it a spot in the CFP.

The Irish shut down one of college football's most explosive offenses, as they held the Orange to 234 total yards and forced three turnovers.

Notre Dame became the first team to hold Syracuse to fewer than 23 points in a game this season.
